The group initially met in October 1956 to support the campaign of Cleveland's first African American mayoral candidate, Alexander Martin, and continued to meet throughout the 1950s and 1960s to support other African American politicians. The women also participated in charitable causes to benefit the United Negro College Fund, the NAACP, the Urban League, and other organizations. The Barristers' Wives ceased holding formal meetings in October 2008, but its membership plans to continue meeting informally. The collection consists of scrapbooks and programs. http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5019.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT
